Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1825
The following information on arrivals, due to the condition
of the papers, has been taken from
various sources including the Montreal Gazette MG, Montreal
Herald MH,
and the Canadian Courant & Montreal Advertiser CC.
note: if ships' rigging
or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated by -- (The newspapers were often
filmed within their binding, making one side of some entries, unreadable, or
only partly legible. This can lead to errors in the interpretation of the entry
or missed entries. ) Be aware that there may be two or more ships of the same
name, from the same, or different ports, during the same year. A few ships also
made two trips in 1825.

| Thieves |
On the morning of Monday last, about 3 o'clock, an attempt was made
to enter the home of the subscriber, and a Cage containing 6 SQUIRRELS,
was stolen from the roof thereof. The thief in his flight left in front
of the house a Boat-hook with a Stick, which may lead to his discovery.
A generous reward will be given to any person giving information leading
to the detection of the thief.

| Quebec, August 1st 1825 |
Roads:— Great efforts have been made for some time past
in the City and neighbourhood to improve our Streets and Roads. In many
places McAdam's plan of road making has been adopted with success
; it however meets with these difficulties which always attend everything
new, owing chiefly to imperfect execution, and the want of the necessary
care for keeping the work in good repair. The nature of these Roads is
a pavement of small pieces of broken stone, laid on a foundation of the
common soil, nearly level, but rounded off a little towards the sides
cleared of all hard and bulky substances, and free from the operation
of water under the road. . . . . .
|
| This is John
Loudon McAdam (1756-1836), who had surmised that
the key to rapid vehicle transit was the preservation of the road bed of
natural soil in a dry state by making the surface layer watertight. By
1830, tar and asphalt were used to seal McAdam's roads. When mixed with
sand and stones, the mixture came to be known as tarmac. . Macadamized roads. |
Improvement:—
Two new Settlements were commenced in 1817, in the rear of the last Settlements
of the Chaudière, by one Mr. Pozer, and old respectable inhabitant
of
Quebec, and the other by Mr. Hanna, formerly Watch Maker in this City.
Mr. Pozer placed in his Settlement, Germans, many of whom have left it, but it
is now fast settling by Canadians ; Mr. Pozer has built Mills there, and frequently
resides on his Domain, Excellent samples of Hemp have come from this settlement.
Mr. Hanna's Settlement on the opposite side of the Chaudière, now contains
twenty-seven families, mostly Irish from the North. They have sent to Quebec
lately 700 yards of Liunen [Linen ?], of Grist from 700 to 1500, certainly
superior to anything of the same fineness which is usually imported, and have
met with
a
quick sale. Next year they expect to make 1500 yards. The webs were only grass
bleached, the colour good, the thread round and equal, and the weaving extremely
close and well done. We have also seen samples of Sewing Thread from the same
place, which is pronounced by good judges equal to anything imported. The Settlement
is called St. Charles de la Belle Alliance, and is 64 miles from Quebec. |

| Communication |
We would take the liberty of intimating to the numerous visitors now
in our city, that among the numerous excellent Steam Boats which navigate
our river, the tow-boat Hercules, the swiftest of them all, departs this
evening at 8 o'clock.
She has excellent accomodations for passengers, and is commanded by Captain
Brush, the most experienced captain in the River, long and well known as
faithful to his duty and most attentive to his passengers. At this season
of the year, she seldom tows any thing down, so that we regard her as one
of the best of conveyance to Quebec. |
| Died |
| In Quebec on the 1st inst. at the Quebec Hotel, Captain Thomas Morin,
of the brig Jane from Dublin. |
| The brig Jane, Captain Morrin, sailed from Dublin on 1st May 1825 with
111 settlers, and arrived at Quebec on July 2nd. |
| Quebec, 4th August, 1825 |
Irish Emigrants:—
Thirty thousands pounds were voted by the Commons of the United Kingdom,
in June, for the promoting of Emigration from Ireland to Canada. Thirty
thousands pounds for this purpose, or a hundred times that amount, will
do little good in Ireland. Justice is the only specific for the evils
of a nation. Perhaps fifty thousand Irishmen were withdrawn annually
from Ireland, during twenty years of the late war, to fight the battles
of the Empire by sea and land to die on ship board in every sea and under
every climate, to leave their bones in India, Africa and America, Holland,
the Peninsula, France and the Netherlands, and all the while the population
went on increasing. Getting rid of a people is no new invention
in the art of governing them. Somebody has profited or will profit by
the past, present, and future grants ; and we heartily wish that the
poor Irish Emigrants may also profit by them. What surprises us, is that
some of our brothers Journalists in Canada, should express some degree
of alarm at the consequences of so many Irish Emigrants coming to these
Provinces. We beg those gentlemen not to be alarmed. This is a large
continent, with plenty of room for every body. We believe that the greatest
part of the Irish, having been so long confined, make use of their liberty,
to take an extensive range ; but if they do stay in the Provinces, they
will endeavour to live at peace with those amongst whom they have come
to reside ; if no injustice is done them, if they are left free to enjoy
the fruits of their labour, they will soon perceive that their happiness
will depend on their own good conduct ; that if they go wrong, they will
only have themselves to blame ; no one on whom to wreck their vengeance,
and charge with the evils sometimes of their own creating. They will
in a short time make good and peaceable subjects in the Canadas, and
thousands of them have already proved to be in the United States. A very
short time will convince them that Catholic and Protestant, Orange men
and Ribbon men, and the hostile feelings perpetuated by a system of unequal
Laws, are entirely misplaced in America. Peaceable industry, sobriety,
obedience to the Laws, attachment to the interests of their adopted country,
equal justice to all, will form a common rallying point for all Irishmen
in Canada, and make them useful, and we should hope, thriving citizens
of this young and rising country.— Old Gazette |

| Amongst the late arrivals, is the brig Agenoira (Agenoria),
from Aberyiswith (Aberystwyeth), on board which came 15 Welsh settlers — their
singular costume and dialect render them objects of much curiosity. The
Welsh are in general a hardy and industrious race and we should be happy
in seeing some further importations of them, as with these qualifications
they promise to make steady and useful settlers.— Mercury |
Two brigs built by J.O. Brunet, Esq. of 125 tons each, were safely launched a
few weeks back, one of them named the George, was built at Three Rivers, and
sails for London ; the other, called the Sir F.N. Burton, was built at Deschambault,
and sails for Halifax.

The Laprairie, Captain Morin, and the Chambly,
Captain Ryan, left their respective wharves yesterday afternoon on a pleasure
trip
to the Baron of Renfrew ; the latter through accident got aground within half
a mile of the Renfrew, and did not get off until nine o'clock in the evening.
Captain Morin, on perceiving the Chambly agraound, sent his boat on board, to
take such passengers as wished to leave her. With the exception of a slight shower
for a short time, the weather was very fine ; but for the accident of two gentlemen,
who were
leaning against the railing of the Laprairie, and by its giving way, fell overboard,
the trip was delightful. They were picked up immediately, without having sustained
any injury whatsoever. The number of passengers was upwards of two hundred.— Old
Gazette
Casualty:—
The Steam Boat, New Swiftsure, lost one of her men overboard,
named Parant, while lying at Hunt's Wharf last Thursday afternoon. Every exertion
was made to recover
the body, but without success.
Accident:—
On Monday afternoon a man fell into the river between the Steam Boats Malsham and Swiftsure,
opposite point à
Callier. After having lain in the water about five minutes he was taken up apparently
in a lifeless situation, medical aid was called promptly to his assistance, when
after using the proper remedies in such cases, Doctor Roe succeeded in restoring
animation.
| Grammatical Smoking |
| As smoking is an innocent indulgence and as it is customary with people
of all classes to relate the news of the day, with cigars in their mouths
; and as the generality of smokers make an awkward appearance, in consequence
of their ignorance of the theory of punctuation in smoking, the following
system is recommended: |
| A simple puff serves for a comma |
| Puff, puff, a semicolon |
| Puff, puff, puff, a colon |
| Six puffs, a period |
| A pause with a cigar kept in the mouth,
represents a dash __________ longer or shorter in continuance. |
| With the under lip raise the cigar almost against the nose for an exclamation
! And to express great emotion, even to the shedding of tears, only raise
as before, the cigar to the end of the nose. |
| For an interrogation ? it is only necessary
to open the lips and draw the cigar round the corner of the mouth. |
| Taking the cigar from the mouth and shaking
the ashes from the end is a conclusion of a paragraph. |
| And throwing it in the fire is [fi]nal and stylish pause. |
| Never begin a story with a half smoked
cigar ; for to light another while conversing, is not only a breach of
politeness, but interferes with the above system on punctuation, which
destroys all energy and harmony of expression. |

but it is probable her departure will be delayed to complete her
compliment of seamen, until about the 20th inst. The Baron is to

| St. John's, Newfoundland, July 7th |
| On Saturday last, the brig Staunton arrived
from London in the short passage of 23 days, having on board
David Buchan
Esq., Sheriff of this Island, and family. The Shannon was 18
days from Start Point. Captain Buchan will not be sworn into
Office until the arrival of His Excellency the Governor, with
the Charter of the Supreme Court, which will not be for some
time, as the Governemnt has determined upon re-annexing the
Island of Anticosti, as well as that part of the Coast of Labrador
beyond the Straits of Bellisle, to the Government of Quebec. |
Halifax July 27th:—
The population of Nova Scotia, by the census of 1817, came to 78,345
; but as it was confessedly imperfect and Cape Breton has been since
annexed to us, our present population is commonly estimated as 100,000
; which is probably a very near estimate to the truth. |

We understand that the Census of this Town, under the late
Act, is nearly completed, and that the population of the
City amounts
to about 22,000 without including the military and transient
persons, which in the summer season probably exceeds 8,000.
The Coves from l' Ance des Meres to Sillery, are
a Town of four miles in extent. We should suppose that
at this moment Quebec and an extent of a few miles round
it contains about 40,000 souls. — Old Gazette

Quebec August 16
The following circumstances lately occurred in this Garrison which
reflects the higest credit upon the young soldier who so honorably
did his duty — Private George Dow, 71st Light Infantry,
whilst on his post as Sentry, in front of the King's Wood Yard, between
1
and 3 o'clock on the 9th inst. was accosted by a man, whose name, we
are informed, is Hugh McGinly, who persuaded him to desert,
by representing to him that the soldiers who had deserted from his
corps were all doing well, and further to induce him to go off, he
promised Dow plain clothes and a horse to carry him, if he would accompany
him that night. The Soldier, a native of Glasgow and only 19 years
of age, pretended to lend a willing ear to the suggestions of McGinly,
but on the latter proposing to go for some spirits that they might
drink together, Dow seized him and detained him as a prisoner till
the relief came round, when McGinly was taken before a Magistrate,
Mr. D'Estimauville, by whom he was committed to take his trial at the
criminal term in September next for the offence, of persuading a Soldier
to desert his Majesty's service — We understand that Dow has
been promoted for his highly meritorious conduct.
We understand that His Excellency Major General Sir Peregrine Maitland
has directed the pension of a discharged soldier named William
Thoms to be stopped, he having aided and encouraged soldiers
to desert from this Garrison. The conduct of this man is particularly
reprehensible as the pension had been granted to him for a service
of only 14 years and not on account of any wounds received in action. — Mercury |

The late easterly wind has brought up a number of vessels, some of which have
been upwards of four weeks in the river. Amongst these arrivals are the Shallet and Perseverance on
their second voyage.
Others are daily expected. The number of arrivals to this date is 487, and it
is supposed will exceed 600 at the close of the season.
The Governor Halkett, Dixon, arrived on the 17th from Hull was
struck by lightning on the 17th inst. off Cape Rozier, about 16 miles WSW. It
came down the main
top-gallant-mast, which, with the main-top-mast were torn to pieces, raised up
the main deck near the main-mast and injured the long boat —
one man in the act of handing the sail on the top-gallant-yard, was so much scorched
that he was ___ed to be lowered to the deck, and another near the main-mast was
down, and his skin much burnt from his neck down his left side, to his feet.— The
clothes of both were literally burnt to rags.— They have partly recovered,
but are still very ill.
Nassau, May 17th.—
The Mary and Elizabeth, Cavan, from Jamaica to Quebec, is wrecked at Mayagana
; the crew and part of the cargo saved and arrived there.
| Died |
| On board the Lady Gordon, Captain Bell, on her passage from Quebec to
Liverpool, Mr. William J. Holt, junior, of Quebec, aged 20 years. |
Sea Serpent at Halifax:—
The Nova Scotian of July 27, contains a particular account, on the authority
of several witnesses, of the appearance of a large sea serpent in the harbour
of Halifax, on the afernoon of the 15th. It was seen by a young gentleman who
happened to be riding past the wharf at Mr. Goreham's tan-pit, accompanied by
some ladies. He raised his head about three feet out of water, its body was the
size of a large log, and appeared to be at least 60 feet long, and it forced
itself along by a wiggling sort of motion. It remained above water about five
minutes, at a distance of about sixty yards. The editor of the Nova Scotian went
to the spot and learned these and other particulars, which were confirmed by
the young gentleman, the ladies, Mr. Goreham, his family and servants. It is
also confirmed with additional particulars by Mr. William Barry of Halifax, who
was going into the harbour the same evening in a whaling boat, and with the men
in the boat, observed it for some time. He saw the head distinctly, and at one
time eight coils of his body above the water, and is persuaded that he is at
least 60 feet in length.— Boston Daily Advertiser
We regret to learn that a great deal of sickness prevails in this District, particulary
in the Townships of Kingston, Loborough and Portland. Many families, whose prospects
at the commencement of the season were highly flattering, are wholly unable to
secure their grain, &c.— and to them, we fear, the fruits of a year's
inductry will be entirely lost.— U.C. Herald |

| Sailing of the Great Ship |
The Baron of Renfrew weighed
anchor and was towed from the place which she occupied near the Falls of
Montmorency, on Tuesday last at noon, by
the Steam-boat Hercules. The tide was about half flood
when she got under weigh, and she proceeded slowly roung the west point
of the Island of Orleans,
and disappeared behind Point Levi at a quarter before two o'clock. She
was accompanied beyond the Point by the Malsham Steam-boat
and the Lauzon Steam Ferry-boat with parties of ladies
and gentlemen from Town. The Malsham had on board the
Band of the 68th Regiment, which, as well as the parties on both Steam
Boats went on board
the Baron, the decks of which were crowded with people. The Steam Boats,
having again taken their company on board, left her behind the Point proceeding
in tow of the Hercules, which will only leave her at the Bic.
The wind was up the River during the whole time the Baron was in sight,
from her leaving her anchorage ground. She however hoisted her sails, hauled
close to the wind, and several times seemed to gain on the Hercules. The
sight was grand as she came abreast of the Point of the Island ; her whole
length about 309 feet being then seen from Town, and her four masts crowded
with sail. The Hercules ahead, and the Malsham alongside, with the Lauzon
astern, appeared little better than long-boats. Several sail boats in company
were hardly discernable. When they arrived in the rear of the Rock of Point
Levi, the Baron's masts and sails still towered above the rock, and were
visible at each side of it. In the fore-ground there were about forty or
fifty Indian Wigwams, and numerous Indian canoes, one of which, after landing
three passengers, an Indian was carrying on his head up to high water mark
; thus offering in one view the largest ship in the world, the perfection
of the application of steam in navigation, and the first, and certainly
a most igenious effort of man in the savage state for water conveyance.
It is not probable that any other vessel of the size of the Baron
of Renfrew,
will be built for some time — The public interest taken in this ship
has been nearly as great as in the Columbus.
The following statement of the cargo of the Baron has been handed to us
by a mercantile friend : |
| Estimation in Tons measurement of the cargo of the
ship Baron of Renfrew. |
| 43634 |
|

| |
|
Amount of the Cargo in Tons |
9,515 |
|
Part of the Cargo, as Oars and Staves, is estimated from the stowage
they require, and not from cubical contents.
If the measurement of the Baron is about 5000 tons, and taking the usual
Quebec allowance of 5000 feet in the rough for every 100 tons measurement,
there will be upwards of 6000 tons of timber wrought up in the construction
of this floating fabric. — Old Gazette |

Shipping Intelligence:—
The Cicero, and Gilbert Henderson, and upwards of 15 square-rigged
vessels are in the river, bound up. The greater part are below Kamouraska
and without an easterly wind cannot reach Quebec for several days.
The Baron of Renfrew was abreast of Father Point
at dusk last Saturday evening, steering well with a strong favourable
breeze, and all her canvas set ; the Julianna, Fotherinham, hence
for London, about 5 miles ahead. The Baron touched four times in
going down, but was not in any way injured, having occasion to use
the pumps only once previous to the Steam-boat leaving her. The Hercules arrived at Quebec at 5 p.m. yesterday ; she ran up from several miles
below Bic, the wind most of the time strong ahead in less than 24
hours.

A report prevailed
that the Herald Yatch [sic], having on board His Lordship
the Governor in Chief was at the Traverse ; it was we apprehend, premature, or
we should have had further intelligence this morning.— Through the master
of the Elizabeth, which sailed from Greenock on the 28th July,
reports that a public dinner was to be given there on the 30th, in compliment
to the
Earl of
Dalhousie, who would embark with the Countess and suite on the following
day, direct for Canada.
The desertion of seamen from vessels arriving in this port continues to a serious
degree. We observe a Handbill posted up in various parts of the town offering
a reward for the apprehension of no less than eleven men from one ship. Some
friend of the Deserters, has torn off the part containing the names from almost
every one of the Bills.
His Majesty's Frigate Nieman, has just arrived.— Mercury

from any of them sufficient to give any thing like a satisfactory description
; saw a great deal of drift lumber and plank at different times to the westward
of the Banks.

| A young man calling himslef Thomas Wait, formerly of Chazy,
State of New York, was employed in a Carding Machine somewhere in the
vicinity of Quebec last summer, traded in Montreal last winter, this
spring went into partnership with Charles Butler, carrying on
business at the mouth of Chateauguay River, where he continued about
four months, then taking about 2 or 300 dollars on pretence of paying
demands in Montreal, absconded with the money. Said Wait is light complexion,
light hair, shows his front teeth when he speaks, is about 5 feet 10
inches high, slender make, and about 26 years of age.— This is
to warn any person against such a character, and intended to prevent
the unsuspicious from being imposed upon. It is supposed he has proceeded
to Upper Canada. Printers in Upper Canada and the United States are requested
to give the above an insertion. |

On Monday night [Sept. 19] the Steam Boat Quebec was on her
passage to
this
port, she struck on the rocks near the small Island opposite the city, close
to the buoy which marks the channel. Exertions were making during the whole of
yesterday to get her off, but she remained firmly aground at a late hour last
night, and doubts were entertained that she would not be extricated from her
unpleasant situation for some time.
[also, a cabin passenger, Lewis Foy Esquire, fell overboard and drowned
on
this trip] |

The bark John, Young, with timber from Miramichi,
bound to London, was wrecked on the night of the 9th ult. the weather being
thick and hazy ; on the north west bar of Bryon Island ; crew, with all her
rigging, &c. were saved.
On Tuesday evening we were informed of the following melancholy
accident, but in consequences of the Quebec Steam Boat being
aground in the middle of the River, we could not ascertain the cause
of the calamity, we made frequent enquiries relative to the circumstances, but
none of the persons we spoke to were able to give us information sufficient
(in our opinion) to warrant our inserting it, and as we did not like to give
publicity to what might be deemed uncertain at the time, we omitted noticing
it on Wednesday.
The subject of this unfortunate occurrence was a man highly respected by all
who knew him, and will be greatly lamented by those who had an association
with him in private life. The following from the Herald of Thursday.
We regret to state, that as the Steam Boat Quebec, on her
last trip from Quebec, was coming through the Richelieu rapids, Louis Foy,
Esq. of Quebec, who was a passenger, fell over-board during the night, and
was drowned. The particulars of this melancholy accident we have not been
able to precisely to ascertain.
The Steam Boat Quebec, still remains firm on the rocks, and it is not known
how soon she may be got off.
[see newspaper
account of the
inquest into his drowning]
A Captain Davies, commander of one of the traders now lying at Quebec, a few
days ago threw himself into the river by the window of his own cabin, and
was drowned. No reason can be assigned for this rash act. The body was seen
to rise to the surface of the water, by some gentlemen standing on the beach
; but supposing it to be that of some person who had been drowned before, they
made no efforts to save the unfortunate individual in question.—
Herald
An exhibition of fireworks which has been some time in preperation, took place
last Saturday Evening on the Esplanade, and afforded considerable amusement
to a good number of Spectators. It is a question, however, if such practises
ought to be encouraged in the vicinity of houses covered with shingles, from
their liability, particularly in dry weather, to take fire by the rockets decending
on them. |
